Noh Hong-chul explained
Noh Hong-chul (; born 31 March 1979) is a South Korean entertainer and entrepreneur. He is the co-host of the variety show Talents for Sale. He previously appeared on the television programs Infinite Challenge and I Live Alone. He had a cameo in the popular music video "Gangnam Style" which featured his trademark pelvic thrusting (Korean: 저질댄스).
Career
Pre-debut
Noh Hong-chul studied mechanical engineering at the Hongik University. After finishing his mandatory two-year military service, he created the online fashion malls Nohongchul.com and Dream and Adventurous Hongchul-Land Corporation which sell a range of party supplies. Noh Hong-chul also ran Hongchul Tour which provided budget trip services in China; he sometimes personally guided his customers during these trips.[3]
2004–present
Noh Hong-chul's television debut came on Mnet in early 2004 when he hosted the cable TV show Dr. No's Pleasure Street (Korean: 닥터 노의 KIN길거리).[3] After the success of the show, he joined the free-to-air MBC program Come to Play (Korean: 놀러와) as a joint panelist. In April 2005, he became a founding member of variety show Infinite Challenge.
He was featured in a commercial for the GM Daewoo Matiz. The ad showed caricatures and photos of him inserted into the hood (bonnet) and doors of his red Matiz car (nicknamed Korean: 홍카, a play on his name and the word hong which means red).[4]
Noh Hong-chul had a brief cameo in Psy's music video "Gangnam Style". He was shown thrusting his pelvis in his trademark lewd dance or (Korean: 저질댄스) while standing above Psy rapping in an elevator.[5] His seven-second appearance in the video became a worldwide "sensation within a sensation" and he was, separately from Psy, invited to appear on US television.[6]
He made an appearance in Psy's video "Gentleman" alongside the rest of the Infinite Challenge members; and in Sistar's music video, "Touch My Body" alongside Jung Jun-mo.
Personal life
Drunk driving incident
On November 8, 2014, Noh Hong-chul was arrested for drunk driving. He later issued an apology and withdrew from the television programs he was participating in, including Infinite Challenge and I Live Alone.[7]
